It does find real bugs, and we are fairly close to being able
to enable it by default once the remaining warnings are all
fixed.
It also doesn't waste any memory in this specific case since
vmmouse_data is currently at 168 bytes, which gets rounded
up to either 192 or 256 bytes anyway. I'd suggest using
the minimum size that is large enough though, in this case
39 bytes for the string I guess.
